Problems of Soil Acidity

Problems of soil acidity may divided 3 groups which are as follows

1. Toxic effects.                                                 2. Nutrient availability.                  3. Microbial activity.

 Acid toxicity.                                                * Non specific effects.
 Toxicity of different nutrient.                       * Specific effects.
→ Exchangeable base
→ Nutrient imbalances

Problems 

 PH  lower.

 Micro nutrient and Mo is lower.

 Phosphorus fixation is not occurred.

 Decomposition rate minimized.

 Basic cation availability gone lower.

 In Acid Sulphate soil, Sulphate toxicity occurred.
